Until it was close to noon, Li Ang and his party had advanced a total of six or seven hundred meters in total, and there were four or five similar skirmishes along the way, and the corpses of the beasts left behind must have been at least nearly two hundred.

Just like this time, they were just about to rest in place, when the familiar heavy gasps sounded from not far away again.

Li Ang didn't even need to look at it to know that it was the spiny boar that had appeared again, the strength and fighting style of this creature were already well known to them, and it could be said that as long as the number did not exceed forty or fifty, it would not cause much trouble.

"Prepare for battle!"

At Leon's command, everyone moved, and almost in the blink of an eye, they were in formation to meet the enemy—Boris and Yelena stood side by side at the front to meet the direct attack from the front, while Hilarily, Ser, and Melissa stood on either side, responsible for attacks that might come from the flanks.

Backwards were Cheney and Erin, with Elven Ranger and Junior Druid Luna standing beside them, both ranged attackers and supporters, who would cover a range of tens of meters in the vicinity if they burst out in full force

Finally, there are ten mountain warriors, armed with bows and arrows and long swords, which can provide long-range support and block attacks if someone approaches from behind.

It can be seen from the time these people formed the queue, the neat and orderly position, and the wary but not nervous expressions on their faces, that after the run-in of the previous battles, the team members have become more and more tacitly coordinated, and their confidence has also become more and more high.

Of course, Leon also saw the growth of his peers. So now he hopes that there will be more similar battles, so that everyone can get more training, so that they will be more confident when they encounter those mutated creatures in the deeper depths in the future.

Previously according to Cheney. The beasts that hunters have seen the most in the Black Forest are brown bears, green leopards, and wild boars, and their size and strength gradually increase with distance, such as the spiny boars seen today are nearly several times stronger than ordinary wild boars.

However, the spiny boar only exists within 3,000 to 4,000 meters of the Black Forest, and there are even more powerful and violent boars in the deepest depths, and the other two beasts will also mutate into black bears and demonic leopards, and there should be more unknown mutated creatures roaming there.

So, the more prepared you are, the safer you are. At the same time, we can go further inside.

Thinking of this, Leon did not choose to rush forward as soon as he opened the game as he had done in the previous few times, but stood at the front of the team. Joining Boris and Yelena in the charge of the Thornskin Boar, he wants to put some pressure on the team and see if he can unleash more potential.

However, it is precisely because of this decision. It was only when Li Ang, who was in the same place, noticed the figures who broke into the battlefield map for the first time.

The young man immediately shouted a prompt. "Attention Caterina! The apes are here!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the boar's charge came closer, and at the same time the apes attacked, and dozens of stones were thrown from the canopy, but this time the stones were dark in color, and it was unknown where they got their hands on them.

"Aren't they smart...... This kind of attack didn't work before, and this time it's coming?"

At first, Leon thought that the ape's attack would be different this time, but he didn't expect them to repeat their old tricks. It didn't seem to be much smarter, so the young man didn't rush back immediately. Instead, together with Boris and Yelena, they stopped the first wave of the prickly boar.

But the young man had always wanted to teach the apes some hard lesson, so Leon kicked over another thorny boar that charged at him, and drew a rune to summon the barbarian.

Sapa was different, and as soon as he appeared, he struck a wave of joy, and he picked up his spear and swept away the four or five thornskin boars beside him, and then met the charging herd.

At this time, the companions on both sides had already attacked, and Leon turned around and prepared to deal with the apes in the distance.

The ape's attack had already fallen, and Caterina slammed her shield into at least four or five black stones.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.

The "stones" were scattered by the shield, but the tiny rubble that looked like it was splattered out of the air hung in the air, and then flew in a circle towards the crowd.

It was only at this time that people were surprised to find that this was rubble, but a tiny flying insect, their bodies yellow and black, and at a glance they were very similar to the bees in Leon's memory.

"What is this?" asked Caterina aloud.

Cheney turned his head and saw the mutation happening here, and immediately shouted, "That's the killer bees of the Black Forest! Don't let them get close! No! Don't let those hives fall!"

Hearing Cheney's somewhat hasty voice, Leon, who had just handed over the defense to Sapa, immediately knew that these wild bees were likely to be quite powerful, and ...... It seems that once he was obviously yin by the ape again.

“...... I'll do it!"

The young man was so angry that he wished that there would be a group of apes in front of him now.

These creatures are too cunning, after experiencing the lesson of the last time they tracked humans but were killed, I don't know what means they used, anyway, they tracked Leon and his party from afar, but they were never discovered by the elves.

Even if they wanted to attack, they did not take the initiative to appear, but only attacked with stones after the humans had already started a war with the beasts, and immediately withdrew when they saw that the momentum was not right, leaving Leon with nowhere to go. Then he couldn't see a trace for half a day, and when he reappeared, he used a similar attack method as the last time, throwing over this kind of beehive that was extremely similar to a stone, which made him misestimate again.

However, the young man calmed down after a moment, and now he had to think of a countermeasure, because the apes had come prepared, and the hives they had thrown were not directly facing the crowd, but were scattered some distance away, apparently trying to break the hive on the ground and use the killer bees against them.

At this time, there were already several beehives flying in the air, colliding with each other several times. The wild bees inside flew out in an instant, like a shadow rising out of thin air, and it was estimated that there were at least a thousand of them. A few more landed on the ground nearby, and a shadow rose from each hive.

If the number of these miniature creatures reaches a certain level, it can almost be said that they are not afraid of most attacks, because even if they sweep through with weapons, the number of kills is not worth mentioning to them, and only secret methods and large-area attack techniques can effectively reduce the number of killer wild bees.

The only people who could do this were Leon, Sapa, and the two casters, and apart from that, Katerina's shield slam was only partially effective. However, it is most suitable for protection, as for Melissa and Elven Ranger, who have always been quite sharp in attacking, they will not be of much use against these killer wild bees.

But Cheney and Sapa were dealing with more than forty spiny boars in the other direction. Without Cheney's extensive Freezing Arcane or without Sapa's powerful attacks, the pressure would be quite high, so it would take a while to get them to help.

So Leon said, "Move backwards, Erin. Smash them with fireballs! Caterina, take care to get the swarm out of the swarm!"

I was afraid of starting a wildfire in the dense forest. Li Ang had instructed them to avoid using the Flame Secret Method as much as possible, but at the moment, they couldn't care about it so much, and it was a big deal to make amends in the end.

The team began to close, and the people who were fighting the spiny-skin boar in front of them also knew that the situation had changed behind them, and they immediately did their best, doing their best to inflict a large number of casualties on these beasts, trying to support the rear as much as possible.

However, the speed at which the team contracted was significantly not as fast as the killer bee attacked, and Leon was delayed for a moment as he had just blocked the first wave of the boar's charge. Didn't arrive in time either. At this point, Erin's fireball strikes first, although the range and damage are much smaller than those of the bursting fireball. It was just as effective against such a dense microscopic creature, and two flames burst out one after the other, incinerating almost a third of the colony.

But as more and more beehives fell, the shadowy swarms gathered together as if they were obscuring the sky, and after being partially eliminated by the fireball technique, a new killer bee immediately made up for the gap, and the number was terrifying. Caterina, the only one defending on the outside, was unable to stop the dense swarm of such a size, and was still flying by a considerable number of them, despite the shield slam and arc slash almost non-stop.

Caterina immediately risked being attacked by the swarm and launched her combat skills to continuously increase the protection of her companions in the rear, while Leon, who was already about to arrive, also launched the "Lion Roar" and "Roar of Excitement" at the same time, hoping to have some effect.

Some of the mountaineers were at the end, and they slowly retreated and waved their weapons to drive away the approaching swarm, but there was nothing Caterina could do about it, and soon dozens of killer wild bees flew in front of them.

Several muffled snorts, which were visibly suppressed, were heard, and the mountain people immediately slapped the killer bees that landed on their bodies to death, but a thin layer of blisters was clearly protruding from the skin of the sting.

"Spread out to both sides! Caterina are you!"

Although facing the attack of the swarm, Li Ang's words were still firmly executed, and the crowd quickly separated, and in the process, some people were constantly stung by the killer bees, but they gritted their teeth and endured the pain, and silently gave Li Ang the space in front of them.

The next moment, the young man directly launched a roar of awe.

The hive that fell in mid-air and the sheer size of the swarm were supported by the dual-attribute range attack for a few seconds at most, and when this powerful skill passed, the silence in front of them was restored again, leaving only hundreds of killer wild bees still "buzzing" and flying, but they were quickly wiped out by Katarina and the others.

Moreover, the hurricane that roared in awesome and ripped apart a large area of the canopy within a few tens of meters in front of it, revealing the bare and thick branches not far away, on which stood many apes, some of them still holding the hive of killer wild bees in their hands, their faces were full of surprise at the moment, and they seemed to be completely unable to believe what they had just witnessed.

Leon's face was gloomy, and he raised his hand and pointed forward, "Dan! Adir! Aim for the hive, quick!"

Before the words fell, the two rangers, who had already understood it, shot a few arrows at the fastest speed they could achieve, and the cold light swept through the air, inserting into the hive in the hands of several apes with great accuracy.

It was clear from Leon that when they sensed the purpose of the humans, these apes immediately panicked and wanted to throw the hive away, but it was too late, and the shadow formed by the killer wild bees completely enveloped them this time. (To be continued......)
